The Native Woods Co-operative (Scotland) Ltd

We are experienced woodland advisors with over 80 years of experience between us, and we combine this with a refreshing and pragmatic approach to helping woodland occupiers to work out what they should do with their woodlands and associated open ground. We all have wider skills than just woodland management and can advise on a wide range of farm, deer, river conservation and wildlife management projects. We are happy to hear from other who might be interested in joining us.

Opening Day of the Tay Salmon Season

To-day was the Opening Day of the Tay salmon season, with the traditional opening ceremony taking place at Kenmore at the start of the River Tay. In the foreground here are the Vale of Atholl junior pipe band.

There are now opening and closing ceremonies on the Tay at Kenmore. In 2009, £70,000 was raised between the two events for CHAS (Children's Hospice Association Scotland) and AFYD (Angling for Youth Development). Scottish Native Woods are involved with habitat conservation projects on the Tay, and we are also currently putting together a woodland management module that will be used by AFYD in their programme of environmental education, developed to SQA standard.
